global, an energy company in algeria. according to his family, victor waited to take that contract until his children had finished school so he could attend their sporting events. this was not surprising for someone who is described as a dedicated family man and a fantastic co-worker. although it was hard to be so far away from his family, victor was excited to take the contract assignment so he could ensure a secure future for his family. that's just the kind of father and husband he was. the deal for this contract was 28 days on, 28 days off. and he was just 10 days in with only 18 days left to go. he was scheduled to come home to texas the day after his daughter's birthday. his life was stolen by those who seek to destroy americans. the radicals who inflict terror on all who believe in freedom. victor is survived by a loving family, including his wife, maureen, daughter, erin, and her son, grant. over the holidays, the closed lovelady family expressed concern for the safety of victor, but he reassured them saying, it's

enough energy on presidents don't get to choose what the deal with. the deal with what is in front of them. -- they deal with what is in front of them. i asked the mayor of chicago, in the early 1990's, if there was anything i could do for you, what would it be? he said, it did rid of the drug problem. it would transfer my city -- get rid of the drug problem. it would transform my city overnight. we speak for our children and our families, and those we lost. when we have the courage to do what we know we should do, we can change the nation. i have been in this fight a long time. i have no illusions about what is in front of us. i have no doubt that distortions will come from all sides. the political obstacles that will be thrown up against us are not impenetrable. we have no choice. we will not be able to look our kids and grandkids in i if we do not use every energy, every fiber of our being to try to keep them safer. we will not be worthy of the generation that is going to grow up now without those to the innocent kids and thousands of people alread

we need to stop playing games with the debt ceiling and spend our time in energy on job creation. i supported a clean debt limit bill, however, because in this version congressional pay has been tied directly to passing a budget, it is important to ensure that the budget that is passed is responsible and protects our most vulnerable citizens. my amendment would not kill the underlying legislation. it would merely add commonsense protections to the bill for members of our armed forces, our veterans, and our seniors from the budget cutting process. anyone who supports the underlying legislation has no reason to not also support this amendment. if adopted, the debt limit would still be raised to allow the government to pay its obligations through may 19, and members of congress would still have their pay withheld if they failed to agree to a budget resolution by april 15. the amendment simply clarifies that the budget resolution protects our troops, veterans, and seniors. i recently visited the west palm beach v.a. medical center. speaking with both veterans and staff who i heard the
